It was later that evening when Lorelei got home, Rory was already there.
"Hey." Lorelei said to her daughter.
"Hi! Oh mom before I forget, um—"
"Cough it up I don't have all night!" Lorelei said pointing at the clock.
"Okay! I will be trick or treating with a whole bunch of friends this year." Rory said smiling.
"Oh, alright, leave your mother home alone, all night long." Lorelei said.
"Okay! Anyway today Paris said that she had a great idea!"
"Right."
"How was dinner by the way?" Rory said.
"Fine…I just had a burger and some fries, not all that exiting."
"Yes it is, Burgers are very exiting especially with fries! How daring!" Rory said .
"Okay, so it's lucky you're not going trick or treating with me, cause Luke could have said yes!"
"Yes to what?"
"Going trick or treating! I took the liberty of inviting him!"
"Oh, okay."
"You know I am so tired. I'm going to go to bed!" Lorelei said running to her bedroom, "Goodnight!"
"Goodnight mom!"
So, the next morning Lorelei woke up, only to find that Rory was already up.
"Hey, what day is it?" Lorelei said walking into the kitchen.
"Um, the twenty sixth." Rory replied.
"Good! This is my day off! This and Halloween, because I thought you and I were going trick or treating! But we're not—Hey, I've got a brilliant idea! Sorry, I have got to get to the diner!" Lorelei said running to her room to change her clothes, and before Rory could finish her orange juice Lorelei had run out the door.

"Hi!" She gasped to Luke who just stared at her for a moment.
"Hi…do you want some coffee?" he asked.
"Yes!" She said desperately as shesat down in one of the seats.
"I'll be right back." He said strangely
"Thanks."
In five minutes Luke was back with two coffees and some fries.
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry?" Luke asked.
"I just wanted to know if—"
"I told you, I am not going trick or treating!"
"Oh, don't worry, I know that. That's not what I was asking."
"Oh, then…ask away."
"Well, I just wanted to know if you'd want to come over to my house, or I go over to your house on Halloween, and watch horror movies and eat pizza and yadaya…you want to?" Lorelei asked.
"Well, I don't know, sure, that might be kind of fun. Might, being the key word here."
"Cool, so here or there?" Lorelei asked.
"There, my place is getting messy again." Luke said.
"Oh, I'm glad. I was hoping that you would want to at my place, no offence or anything."
"And why wouldn't I be offended?" Said Luke in false hurt.
"Well, come on over at, let's say seven o' clock so the terrifying night can begin!"
"Sure, I'll be there. So when is this, four days?"
"Yes, sir! Oh and could you get the movies?"
"Sure."
"And the Pizza?"
"Now you're pushing it."
"I thought so, now cheers?"
"Cheers." Luke said as they drank their coffee.
"So, you want to get 'IT' and 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' and 'Barney's Great Adventure'."
"How about I decide." Luke said.
"So, is this a date?" Lorelei asked looking at her knees.
"I don't really know, you're the one who asked, so you get to choose."
"Well, I kind of thought so, if that's alright." Lorelei said.
"Well, I don't know...sure. That's fine, yeah." He said.
"Our first official date, cool, maybe there will be more to come." Lorelei said laughing slightly.
"Who said? I never said there would be more dates, but you're kind of right, maybe." He looked at her smiled and went back to drink his coffee.
